    Some are. I've found more than a few that use a "pull-through" arrangement, though some are better than others. Most of these are tandem, though, so if you're not the first truck in you will pull up with your nose to another truck's hiney. If they don't leave before you do, you'll have to back out.

    More often than not, drivers back into these spaces if they can't pull all the way through. Tougher to do than it would seem.

    I'm betting that in a couple of weeks you'll get a letter- or E-mail with a short "Sincere" apology that includes a coupon for $50.00 off on a tree trimming job.

    So- here's my suggestion- go to a joke shop and buy several rolls of yellow "Crime Scene" tape. Mark out one, two or three bodies on the ground in chalk. (And the outline of a handgun for fun). Wrap the whole bunch of trucks in yellow tape. Just for effect, write the current date and a time in the windshield of all the trucks with yellow or red ink- you can get different colored "bingo markers" at Wally-World"- leave a half dozen circles spraypainted on the ground with numbers in them... see if they come back that night.

    I would park in front of them if I really needed to park.

    then you get these $100,000 Plus, motor homes that has everything under the sun inside, parking in a truck stop.
    WTH people you got you house with you, go park at a campground.
    Then they *itch about an idling truck/ reefer/ apu, parked next to them.

    So what's common for someone like myself who transports travel trailers take up a few spots in the auto section or park with the big boys
